Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. it!" 1919.

Application filed March 9, 1918. Serial No. 221,524.

which the following is a specification, refer ence being had to theaccompanying draw- :ings. i

This invention relates to certain improvements in oiling devices and itis an object of the invention to provide a device of this generalcharacter having novel and improved n'ieans whereby oil may be readilyapplied to a saw, plowshare or other surface.

it is also an object of the invention to provide a device of thisgeneral character which includes a container provided with an applyingswab together with means whereby the oil within the container may bedelivered to the swab.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this generalcharacter including a container provided with a filling opening togetherwith a plug for said filling opening and provided in its outer face witha swab receiving chamber together with a nipple extending within thechamber to afford communication with the container when the plug is inapplied position.

it still further object of the invention is to provide a novel andimproved device including a container provided with a filling openingtogether with a plug coacting with said filling opening and providedwith a port in communication with the container when the plug is appliedand wherein said plug has its outer face formed with a swab receivingchamber together with a removable member coacting with the plug forinclosing the swab when the device is not in use.

lit is also an object of the invention to provide a novel. and improveddevice of this general character including a container provided with anexternal swab together with a member for inclosing said swab when thedevice is not in use and wherein the exterior of the container isprovided with means for retaining the inclosing member when the deviceis in use.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved oilingdevice whereby certain important advantages are attained and the devicerendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient andadvantagtmns for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, 1 will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of an oiling device constructed inaccordance with an embodiment of my invention; and

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the device as herein embodied.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings C denotes a container providedwith a flexible bottom 1 and with a filling opening 2. The opening 2 isdefined by an outstanding annular flange 3 with which is adapted to beengaged a closing member or plug 4s. The outer face of the member orplug 4: is continued by a flange 4 flush therewith. The outer marginalportion of the flange 41: is defined by an outstanding flange 5 wherebya chamber A is afforded and in which is adapted to be fitted a swab S ofany suitable absorbent material, such as felt or the like. Atsubstantially its axial center the plug 4. has disposed therethrough anopening 6 con tinued by an outstanding nipple 7 of a length less thanthe width of the flange 5 and which nipple extends or penetrates withinthe inner portion of the swab S. The marginalportion it of the flange 4cis also defined by the inwardly directed flange 4; and seated within thechamber or pocket afforded by the flange {l is a gasket 9 which contactswith the upper or outer edge of the flange 3 whereby an effective sealis aflorded when the closing member or plug 4 is in applied position.

By pressing upon the flexible bottom 1 the oil within the container Cwill be forced outwardly to the swab S resulting in the saturation ofthe swab so that oil may be readily applied to saws, plowsharcs or othersurfaces as the occasions or practice may require.

Engageable with the flange 5 is the removable cap 8 which serves toinclose the swab S when the device is not in use. When the device is inuse the cap 8 may be engaged with the, annular flange 9 fixed to theouter surface of the container C so that said cap may be maintainedagainst loss.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that anoiling device constructed in accordance with my invention isparticularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience andfacility with which it may be assembled and operated and it will also beobvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modificationwithout departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for thisreason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precisearrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingout my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim;

An oiling device comprising a container provided with a filling openingdefined by an outstanding'flange, a removable plug insertible within theflange for closing the filling opening said plug being provided with anopening therethrough to afford communication within the container, theouter face of the plug being continued by the flange substantially flushtherewith, the outer marginal portion of said second named flange beingcontinued by an outstanding flange to afford a chamber to contain a swaband by an inwardly directed flange to afiold a second chamber, and agasket arranged within the second chamber for contact with the outeredge of the flange defining the fill- I MARLIN ORONER.
